Classroom Updates!

I haven't had a chance to post any of my latest adds to my classroom so I thought I'd take a second to share.😊

I'm still not finished but it is presentable since K camp is TUESDAY! (Hikes!) 

Finally finished my new word wall from a Pinterest idea. I forgot over half way through to take a picture, but you can see I just had the neon index cards with words. There are many more words in the first picture because we switched word list this year in my county. Anyway here's a semi before and after pic:

I found some cute owl lanterns on Pinterest also. I already had the green lanterns and our theme this year is owls so I thought I'd try it. Here's how hey turned out.

And here they are hanging:

I also redid my filing cabinets this year as you can somewhat see in the picture above. Here's what they look like up close:

My wonderful sister and brother in law came to help me today for a little while and helped place my shapes for my math wall. Here's their cute door decor:

I'm sure there's something I'm missing in the room but that's all I have for today. Since I'm sharing I thought I would also share my folder ideas for the year. This year I'm incorporating owls with my frogs (a little strange I know but I have soo much frog stuff I had to use it too). I always have a folder in their agendas for things that need to go home and also a folder at their seat for them to keep up with their work. (I know it's Kindergarten but if you teach them from day 1 and make them accountable it really does work out for them to manage their work.) 

Here are this years labels for their take home folder: 

I used a simple layout from Avery labels I got at Walmart and added my own font and picture to match my theme. Super easy! 

The other folders that they keep at their seats I usually buy from a school store online but they are VERY expensive so this year I decided to get smart and create my own. I plan to print and paste (you could buy whole page labels though). 

You can purchase the resource folder pages plus printable labels to match on my TPT account.

The pages are $7 but the folders with all these resources are $40 so I figured that's a much better trade. Just get the 15 cent folders from Walmart, paste, and laminate. 

I guess that's all for today. I'm sure I'll be back with more soon since time is winding down for school to start.😊
